EmuDeck isn't letting you auto install Yuzu anymore...

But it does install Ryujinx for you.

But it doesn't provide BIOS or prod/title keys, gotta find those on your own.

There's also Citron, but EmuDeck just lets you know it exists and won't auto dl it.

Ryujinx has a flatpak (though its a fork) in the base Discover store on a Deck running SteamOS, so its just on mainline flathub.

Yuzu and Citron appear to no longer be on flathub.

Here's the OLED Deck specs for comparison:

APU

6 nm AMD APU

APU power: 4-15W

(which contains:)

CPU:

Zen 2 4c/8t, 2.4-3.5GHz

(up to 448 GFlops FP32)

GPU:

8 RDNA 2 CUs, 1.6GHz

(1.6 TFlops FP32)

...

RAM:

16 GB LPDDR5 on-board RAM

(6400 MT/s quad 32-bit channels)

Storage:

Steam Deck 512GB NVMe SSD

Steam Deck 1TB NVMe SSD

Both include high-speed microSD card slot

So basically, the Deck and Switch 2 are roughly inverted in compartitive hardware power... the Deck has a more powerful CPU, the Switch 2 has a more powerful GPU.

EDIT 2:

also the Deck has 33% more RAM.

It literally is just install a flatpak, then configure the control scheme in the emu, maybe tweak some settings, add it to your steam library, map the steam controls to the emu controls in game mode.

EmuDeck/RetroDeck automate most of this or you can just find the individual emus in the Discover software center.

... They might actually perform better if you compiled the entire thing from source on your Deck, which is possible to do, but is significantly more of a hassle, gotta set up a root pw, turn off read only mode, hope you can actually find all the sources for the dependencies, know how to tune/tweak the compile parameters to optimally use the Deck's hardware...

Ive gotten Ryujinx working via flatpak... but uh... lets just say I'd have to delve into OCing/PowerToolsing my Deck to get it to actually run many Switch/WiiU games at a playable framerate.

It works, its stable software wise... but the Deck isn't quite powerful enough.

... Also, it could be that most modern emus are designed to map consoles onto traditional PC architecture, and ironically the Deck uses an APU which is closer to many consoles, so it doesn't actually perform as well as it could with better support.

I know a guy who put magic mushrooms in his family's coffee maker.

After a month of hallucinations, his mom checked herself into a psych ward for two weeks.

Guy thought it was really funny when he told her what he did, after she got back.

Guy is now homeless (unemployed 26 yo was living with his parents.)

That's a new one, time to update the bingo cards.

As an American:

Is China threatening to invade Greenland?

Did China just completely abandon and betray the most succesful military alliance in the modern era... in the middle of an active war involving that alliance?

Exactly.

He's not insane until rich dude's yacht money and 401ks start tanking.

Before that diagnosable criteria, he doesn't meet the DSM V threshold for magalomanical genocidal fascist.

'Results inconclusive'

EDIT 'magalomaniacal' was a typo, but it fits, so it stays. Hopefully it'll be in thr DSM 6.

Every AAA game company's have been for 30 years and still currently are arguing this in courts all the time.

The actual public facing employees don't have to, but sometimes still do, though usually in an unofficial capacity these days.

AA / indie devs are more of a mixed bag. A few will openly say 'fuck it, pirate it if you can't afford it, idgaf', but the majority will denounce piracy if its relevant or if prompted.

Looks like I'll be pirating Black Flag for my next replay.
